checkmate

strugglin to keep from drowning, trying to stay afloat
my castle is a fortress, with an ocean for a moat
life's no fairytale, you can't always get what you want
the sisters weave the story, and they like to tease and taunt
do some things last forever, or is there always an expiration
you tore through my fortress, then left no explanation
you left me standing here, naked and exposed
when last i checked, i had myself upright and composed
broken and battered, stripped of all my armor
gone is my knight, who'da thought you were such a charmer
how contented you seem, to leave it up to fate
you only need one word though, that's 'checkmate'.
